Funny enough i just tried it on another box and this time the screen went black for a good 5-6 minutes and it came back once the skin finished downloading. I did see the message this time.

So random... 3 out of 5 cousins saw the message too...

I spent a lot of time on the logic of this. By design not everyone will see the message. If you did not have the advanced widget setting enabled you'll never see it. This will not cover everyone cause if you've set up widgets and then decided to use the old ones instead by turning off the advanced setting then no warning popup with an option to reset. No matter what you select or if you just close the message it resets the advanced widget setting so you will not see the message again.

The issue is those saying there menu reset cause of the update. I do not see how that is possible because even when you agree to reset it still requires a second confirmation from the user to perform it. This doesn't take into account people who do not wait for the update to finish and I have no idea if that would even trigger a menu reset by the skinshortcuts script. The update will cause a rebuild because of the changes to the overrides and template files but to the best of my knowledge that should not alter any chosen backgrounds or menu items. I think there may be an issue with either some new widget images or texturepacker that might cause longer than normal update times due to the Textures.xbt file being abnormally large.
